I don't think so, but you could check with
pkg-cyrus-imapd-debian-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.

Below, you have configured the admin user to be 'cyrus'. You will need to
have that user configured within your mysql database, with whatever
password you wish to use.

Your SASL config matches up pretty well with your postfix sasl config.

Your virtual domain configuration appears broken. See:

http://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.17/install-virtdomains.php

You may wish to specify a default domain (for your primary admin/cyradm
logins), and then list all supported domains within 'loginrealms'.
'virtdomains: userid' may be more appropriate.

Assuming your postfix was compiled against cyrus sasl, your
'auxprop_plugin' and 'sql_*' statements here likely have no effect on your
postfix user authentication. I would comment them out and verify, since it's
likely adding to some confusion.

This is a problem, as by default cyrus imapd will attempt to
communicate with saslauthd using the standard mux location. See:

http://asg.andrew.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=54942

for options.

For trouble shooting, I run saslauthd in debug mode to verify imapd is able
to communicate with the saslauthd mux.
